After having a compression fracture of a spinal disc last January, my doctor wanted me to on Fortea. I would mean daily injections for 2 years and an out-of-pocket cost of more than $6000 over the two years. He was not happy when I said "no". I am considering Prolia which is covered by Medicare (injections by a doctor every 6 months for 2 years) but at the end of that time, one has to go on a bisphosonate (Fosamax is in that class) or any bone density increase from Prolia is (I read) quickly lost. I really don't know what to do.
